Downstage Left performed Nick Payne’s acclaimed play Constellations in November 2023.
Constellations is a love story that moves across the multiverse, giving us a glimpse of the infinite possibilities and infinite combinations swirling around two star-crossed lovers… one of whom is a quantum physicist. Oh yeah. And the other is a bee keeper.
The play follows the relationship of Marianne and Roland as they meet, fall in and out of love, fall apart and come back together. This beautiful script takes us through quantum mechanics, multiple universes and possibilities, and bee keeping.
Matt Wolf of The New York Times described it as “The nearest I’ve come across in ages to a play that feels heaven-sent.”
Downstage Left’s production of Constellations was directed by Cathrine Andresen.
Two casts played on alternating days. Team Leo/Gemini, Danielle Hollreiser and Denis Burke, and Team Sagittarius/Capricorn, Mimi van Amerongen and Christopher Grabski.
Content note: The performance includes intimacy, domestic violence and terminal disease.
